Regarding the Palestinian issue, 20 Democratic members of the US Senate called on US President Joe Biden to work to protect the two-state solution and ensure security and respect for both peoples.

They also stressed the need to force Israel to allow the Palestinian Authority to expand the areas of influence of Palestinian cities and their structural maps for the purpose of construction, to address the housing crisis resulting from population increase.


Among the signatories of the letter are Chairman of the Middle East Affairs Committee in Congress Chris Murphy, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee Dick Durbin, who is considered a senior Democrat, in addition to the party’s former vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Jewish Senator Brian Schatz.
